The "AA" State Tournament Bracket is online. Click the State Tournament link on the left side of the page. Questions? Gripes? Email zakbasch@yahoo.com.
Other updates (7/16/08)
ATTENTION "A" MANAGERS: East "A" team has become an "exhibition team," meaning that all of its games previously played AND all future games will be NON-LEAGUE games. Consequently, East "A" team will not play in the "A" State Tournament. Any questions about this can be directed toward Jeff Blake or Don Rabung.
7/14/08
Venue Change!! Dimond v. Wasilla "A" 7/15 changed from Klatt Field to Kosinski #2 (Sorry for late notice)
Other updates (7/7/08)
GAMES ADDED Kenai "A" at Chugiak "A" (DH) 12:30 pm on July 12
South "A" at Kenai "A" reschedule from 6/1 DH to be played 7/20 at 12:30 at Kenai LL Fields
Chugiak "A" vs. East "A" reschedule league game for 7/14 at Kosinski #4 (was non-league...now league)
Updates from 6/30/08
Attention "A" Managers: Please remember to report your scores. I am missing several scores from the past weeks. If you find a missing score on the website, please call (529-1064) or email (zakbasch@yahoo.com) it in.
Also, a reminder to ALL MANAGERS:
This year, the rules have been changed (check the "Rules" page of the website) for State Tournament seeding. Seeding is done on a points system: 4 points for a win, 2 for a tie, 1 for a non-forfeit loss, and 0 for a forfeit. There have been several forfeits already; therefore, it is possible that a team could be seeded lower than another team in the State Tournament even if they have an equal number of losses.
Recent update (6/25/08)
7/5 "AA" NL game between South and Eagle River is CANCELLED.
Recent Update (6/23/08)
FROM THE WEBMASTER
My apologies about the lack of updates from this weekend's games. My laptop died over the weekend, and most of the scores were on it. I think I can get it fixed today, and will let you all know whether I need scores emailed again. Until then, please be patient while I get this figured out.
-Zak
